Talk:Donn F. Eisele

Deke Slayton
Hello, please notice under "NASA Career" the following sentence is out of context: "Slayton had warned the crew that they were all "expendable"...". I assume it refers to Deke Slayton, but he is not mentioned anywhere else in the article. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.210.186.157 (talk) 21:24, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I accidentally did that after cutting out some speculative text which first introduced Slayton. Good catch. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
How did he pronounce his last name? The article should add a pronunciation. (See Help:IPA for English.)--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 19:49, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

His first wife bore him 4 children
I would like to know a little more about his personal life. I know that his first wife was named Harriet and they had 4 children, one of whom died in 1968. Harriet was the first to file for divorce from an astronaut. I’m not sure if he had more children or step-children with his second wife. Minicarmen (talk) 07:21, 22 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The first? interesting. I know that many of the astronauts divorced after they had reached the top of what they could have achieved with Apollo, so I'm sure that many of them begged their wives to keep it together til then.  Also, The Apollo 10 article says "Eisele was blackballed because of incidents during Apollo 7, which he had flown as CMP and which had seen conflict between the crew and ground controllers; he had also been involved in a messy divorce. Slayton only assigned the two as backups because he had few veteran astronauts available." That's not really mentioned in this article. 137.188.108.28 (talk) 19:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
